Wipe away the summer airYou don't want to seeThat's you in that Photograph from 1973And you don't even know me

God only Knows I want to beThe other side of miseryGimme a plate of FluoresceinI'm gonna paint an ugly sceneAll of the things I want to sayCan't get a word out anywayFalling away after todayNothing to lose so come what may

Don't wake me

You got away from me somehowAnd all we tried to beEverything is different nowThe mind's eye fails to seeAnd all we know is TV

Inside, I rise above this shallow worldInside, I rise above this sorrow
